Villarreal head coach Marcelino Garcia Toral attended a press conference before the Champions League match against Cyprus’ Pafos team. The fourth round match will kick off on November 5 at 20:45 Moscow time.
"We really want to achieve our first victory. We could have deservedly achieved it in the previous games as well, but we have not been able to do so yet. We know it will not be easy, but that is our goal," the coach said in an interview with Villarreal's official website.
"We must respect our opponent because they are a good team. We need to stay fully focused for all 90 minutes, and even if this opponent may seem weaker than the previous ones, we must not underestimate them." "I think this will be a difficult match.
There will be many battles and duels for the ball. They like high pressing, play close to their opponents, and are strong both in attack and in transition phases.
Also, they defend well and concede very few goals. In two away matches in the Champions League, they managed to keep a clean sheet, even though they played with ten men." Currently, Pafos are in 28th place with 2 points, while Villarreal are in 32nd place with 1 point.
